What is Wheel Alignment?
Sunday, June 24, 2018 4:27:15 PM Asia/Calcutta
A vehicle is said to be properly aligned when all suspension and steering components are sound and when the tyre, wheel assemblies are running straight. Proper alignment is necessary for even tread wear and precise steering. Uneven front/rear tyre wear or changes in your vehicle's handling or steering response (i.e. pulling to one side) can indicate misalignment. Wheel Alignment service for your vehicle is recommended every 3000 kms.

Sunday, June 24, 2018 4:24:52 PM Asia/Calcutta
A wheel which is not properly balanced may cause vibrations and can affect steering control. This balance is achieved by positioning weights on the wheel to counterbalance heavy spots on the tyre wheel assembly. Properly balanced tyres are important for driving comfort and long tyre life. Tyres should be balanced when they are mounted on the wheels for the first time or when they are removed for repair. Periodic balancing can extend tyre life.

Read MoreIs Nitrogen better than regular Air for Tyre inflation?
Monday, February 12, 2018 4:27:28 PM Asia/Calcutta
Yes. Nitrogen being inert, non-combustible and non-corrosive gas offers following significant advantages:
-
Nitrogen permeates the tyre significantly lower than the oxygen in the air.
-
It stays in the tyre for longer time resulting in tyre pressure staying constant for a longer time
-
Improves fuel economy
-
Reduces tyre oxidation and wheel corrosion
-
Reduces running temperatures of tyre resulting in extended tyre life
What does Tyre & Wheel Up-Sizing/Plus-Sizing mean?
Monday, February 5, 2018 4:15:27 PM Asia/Calcutta
Plus-Sizing or Up-Stizing are two terms given to the practice of increasing the diameter of your tyres and wheels whilst simultaneously reducing the profile of your tyres to keep the overall rolling radius the same. Up-Sizing/Plus-Sizing will improve the handling of your car. Each step will reduce the proportion of flexible tyre 'sidewall' to rigid alloy. This will improve response, will help keep the tyre tread square to the road and will improve your car's 'feedback'. If done properly speedo and odometer accuracy will be retained and the car's sure to look better. Talk to one of our experts to find suitable up-sizing alternatives for your vehicle.

I have bought two radial tyres? Can I mix it with Bias tyres on my car
Monday, January 8, 2018 1:45:00 PM Asia/Calcutta
Tyres of different size designations, constructions, and stages of wear may affect vehicle handling and stability. For best all-around performance, it is recommended that all tyres be of the same size, construction (radial, non-radial) load and speed rating. Never mix radial and bias tyres on the same axle. When Radial tyres are used with Bias on the same car, the radials must always be placed on the rear axle. A single new tyre should be paired on the rear axle with the tyre having the most tread depth among the remaining tyres.
